I remember photographing Aisling Bea as a part of a bigger group of people just under a decade ago. It was for a feature about people to look out for in different creative industries. Aisling was the comedian to look out for. Many years later, with a few comedy shows under her belt and having been an LOL creator on a few of Britain’s best panel shows, Aisling is now the supporting act in the new Netflix comedy drama “Living with Yourself”. We met up at the Corinthia hotel where she was promoting her new show. Admittedly, we didn’t have the most comfortable shoot planned for her. The first section was to look casual in an empty bath. Whilst the second involved her putting her head and arms through some pre-existing holes in my backdrop, all at slightly misjudged heights. Aisling has either not got accustomed to the high life of celebrity to know she can complain about any discomfort she may experience, or she enjoyed the exercise that came with contorting herself into awkward positions. In any case, she kept the mood up with good old Irish banter and an “anything goes” attitude. One thing’s sure - Aisling totally rocks!
